I'm not saying anything specific, but maybe hold off on buying because
the Holiday Season will soon be upon this newsgroup, and who knows
what will be available for free then? ;-)

(That said... I was extremely disappointed with the remastered Crysis
games. The visual differences are not all that apparent, and if you
already own the original games it's really hard to justify the price
of the remastered versions. Especially Crysis 2, which was the weakest
of the trilogy.)

I had the graphic enhancement mod for Crysis 1. Wow, it was beautiful even though choppy sometimes.

"Crysis" had really poor support for multi-core processors. It's one
of the main advantages of the Remastered version... or it would be,
except that modern CPUs and GPUs are so powerful nowadays that even
running the unoptimized single-threaded version on most modern PCs
still offers more than enough performance to run the game at smooth
frame rates.

There's a reason the 'will it run Crysis' meme died out. Nowadays, the
answer is almost inevitably, 'yes, of course it will.'

We're so spoiled by how powerful our computing devices have become.

Hmm. I could spend $14 and get Crysis and Crysis 2 remastered editions.

Plus a few free game codes to give out for Christmas.

Tempting.

I think we don't realize because the software devs get lazy with so much

Yeah, "Crysis 2" was such a significant change to the style of
gameplay. I hate to point a finger and scream 'consolitis!" but with
"Crysis 2" it was quite obvious that was what had happened; many of
the game's features had to be cut back to fit into the limited memory
space of the prevailing consoles, and the gameplay simplified so you
could control it from a gamepad.

It had its moments and at times it still felt like Crytek's earlier
games, but overall it was such a radical change that it was really
hard for me to judge "Crysis 2" on its own merits.

I never touched the series, but from what I've heard online it was
decent.

It's not a bad game it's just one I put on the list of you've just
slapped a franchise name on it to shift units. Then again I got my £5

Far Cry was a great game as long as you had a PC to get the best out of
it. After that, well Ubisoft took it in-house. Erm ... 2 I found at best
mundane and at worst tedious. 3, that has the accolade for having you
play the most annoying character ever. It's hard to like a game when the
most enjoyment you get out of it is cheering on the bad guys when they
kill you.

I have a love-hate relationship with "FarCry 2".

It's combat is one of the best ever made.* Between the gun-play and
the AI and how it all reacts with the environment, it's a really
intense and really fun experience.

I also really enjoyed exploring the world map; the various setpieces
were well put together. I liked the fact that the game made an effort
never to pull you out of the experience by making you navigate through
menus; everything from healing to map was 'in game'.

The visuals were fine for their time; they could use a little work
now. Being a mid-2000s game, it's all very dingy and brown. Some
updated textures and a good ENB can fix that, though.

But the game wasn't without its flaws. The story was lacking. It
wanted to be this great "Heart of Darkness" sort of story, but it just
wasn't very well told. It didn't help that there weren't any really
memorable characters, and the setting -although visually lush- was
narratively barren.

And then there was the god-damned respawning. Every enemy outpost
automatically respawned its enemies five minutes after you left the
area. It ruined the game. Traversing the map became a tedious slog
because you were constantly fighting the same battles over and over.
It made your already-fragile weapons deteriorate even faster. You were
incentivized NOT to explore. Making the runs for your malaria medicine
became a chore, not because of the malaria mechanic but because you
were forced to run the same gauntlet of enemies over and over again.

The game was fun, except for that incessent respawning.

On the plus side, Ubisoft learned from their mistakes with later Far
Cry games. Unfortunately, they made up for the respawning enemies by
creating grindingly huge worlds with even less reason to explore it.

But hey... at least the game didn't feature mutant monsters. "Far Cry
1" was excellent until it introduced the mutants.

* well, that's how I remember it. It's been five years since last I
played it ;-)

The respawning was just awful. Maybe the dev. who put it in was the one
person on this earth that liked the rail-yard area transition point in
Stalker and thought FC:2 needed more of that.

Oh and I do like the game was fun, well except for the bits that ruined it!

Not that I ever found. From what I recall, it's deeply encoded into
the game and isn't something that can easily be tweaked out without
access to the source code (or some serious hacking skills, but "Far
Cry 2" doesn't seem to be the sort of game that inspires people with
that skill-set to fix it).

But last time I looked was in... good gog, 2015! When I last played
it. Perhaps some enterprising youth has fixed the problem in the near
decade since I searched.

I still think the game is worth playing. The combat is sublime. When
you're running around the map fleeing from one bandit group,
accidentally bump into the next, all the while the brush is afire
around you and your weapons are falling apart in your hands... it can
be really fun.

In some regards I think it's like "Doom 3"; it is probably a game
that's better played in very brief chunks. With "Doom 3", I got the
best experience limiting myself to playing only one level at a time,
then quitting to do something else. "Far Cry 2" is probably like that;
if you limit yourself to one mission (or just one crossing of the
map), then the respawning likely doesn't seem so problematic.

But that's just not how I play games, unfortunately.
